MILL VALLEY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--With the continued expansion of SunLink
Corporation’s mounting systems, services and software in realizing
its evolution into a full-scope solar energy solutions provider, the
company today announced the appointment of two operations executives -
Grumeet Grewal as vice president of Supply Chain and Logistics and Becky
Sutro as vice president, Strategic Sourcing and Supplier Quality.

Grewal joins SunLink most recently from SPARQ Systems where he served as
vice president, Manufacturing & Supply Chain. He brings more than 24
years of operations experience with proven success leading supply chain
operations teams to manage contract manufacturers in start-up as well as
multi-billion dollar technology companies.

Sutro most recently held the position of director of Product Engineering
Manufacturing Design for Cost at SanDisk where she led product cost
forecasting, business process implementation and design for cost. Her
solar industry experience includes a senior director role at Solaria in
global procurement, where she was responsible for supply chain, supplier
quality and global procurement. Sutro specializes in relationship
management for long term strategic initiatives and sourcing to best meet
the company’s quality and cost goals.

Both hires follow the recent appointment of Chief Operating Officer
Martin Lynch who upon his arrival began to immediately address scaling
the company’s supply chain and logistics operations to accommodate
SunLink’s growth amidst a year of unprecedented solar
industry growth and adoption. According to the latest U.S.
Solar Market Insight Report by GTM Research and the Solar Energy
Industry Association (SEIA), the U.S. solar market continued its
years-long expansion in the second quarter of 2017 as the industry
installed 2,387 megawatts of solar photovoltaics, the largest total in a
second quarter to date. The utility-scale segment represented 58 percent
of the PV capacity installed in the quarter, marking the seventh
straight quarter in which the U.S. added more than a gigawatt of
utility-scale solar.

“As one of the most comprehensive providers of solar mounting systems in
the industry, we’re committed to providing our customers with the
highest quality and best value,” said Martin Lynch, chief operating
officer of SunLink. “With EPCs and developers increasingly taking on
more large-scale utility projects around the world, we believe it’s
important to not only secure best pricing to maximize profitability for
their projects, but also provide increased transparency on how we manage
our supply chain for greater business visibility.”
